TOGWT Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 My car is outside 24/7 and I am wondering if a car cover will help keep it clean or will it damage the finish? ← The evaporation of acidic moisture (See page 1 A-Z) is the key element to paint film surface damage, and any steps taken to eliminate its occurrence will alleviate this problem. It should be noted that both sulphuric and Nitric acids (released from the burning of fossil fuels, inc internal combustion engines) are also contained in fog and snow, even when they are a dry acidic compound once they alight on a paint surface and mix with precipitation (dew or rain) they will start to erode the paint. The sun heat further accelerates this problem. Protect your investment with a car cover, outdoors, car covers offer unequalled protection against ultraviolet radiation (UVR) they are manufactured to be water-resistant and are available in various breathable fabric materials that provide protection from acid rain, pollution, bird excrement, tree sap and wind blown debris, as well as protection against every type of climatic conditions, can be used for both long-term indoor or outdoor vehicle storage.
